Standard Seatbelts...
Fronts and rears....
once you take a seatbelt out of a car... (aka... something from the scrappy or just one you have laying about...)
does it stop it from pulling... if that makes sense...
does it have like a safety catch that doesnt let it pull like it normally goes...
reason being...
i have a tigra which is ready for the scrapyard and was just taking the final parts off it.....
fitted the 2 front belts in the corsa.... but the 'motors' dont sit flush on the bodypanel... if that makes sense...
it has like little indents and they dont line up properly...
i assumed tigra a and corsa b front belts were the same but obviously not...
but they are in.... but then they dont pull.. so you cant put them on.... they are locked... (but they worked when they were in the tigra.... )
any info on this would be very helpful 
if not... im stumped......

Hmmm looks like you'll have to get Corsa ones, the panel must be making the inertia reel stick on locked

When I removed mine in the Corsa, they wound right back in and would move at all with me pulling gently on it, but as soon as it was bolted back in the car, a bit of gentle movement pulling on the seatbelt freed it back to normal.

Should be able to use a magnet to make them pull too. Had to do it with one of the golf ones the other night.
